3 Stars3 Stars3 StarsThe "Girl Happy" song itself (if slowed down slightly to the correct speed) is a very catchy & fun song along with "Spring Fever" & "Startin' Tonight" on the soundtrack album. The song "Cross My Heart And Hope To Die" has a very nice, cool & bluesy sound to it. Other than the bonus song, "You'll Be Gone", the two best songs on the LP (in my opinion) are... "The Meanest Girl in Town", a high-energy rocker with Elvis almost resorting back to his 1950s voice, and the song "Puppet On A String"... a nice love ballad that sold well over 500,000 copies as a single.

3 Stars3 Stars3 StarsEach to his own - I rather like this soundtrack, although the songs are a little short in places. I also found the film rather enjoyable too - it had a simple feel good factor.

1 StarI just listened to this CD again yesterday afternoon and it still stinks! Why I purchased this crap is beyond me; to complete my collection of his music? I need my head examined. Why, with so many much better soundtracks out there did the powers that be decide to release this again for the unsuspecting. Ugh.

1 StarThis CD, next to the Harum Scarum soundtrack is right up there with the worst Mr. Presley ever recorded period. It might be $5.00 plus tax at Walmart but I only purchased it to say I had it which was a mistake on my behalf.

5 Stars5 Stars5 Stars5 Stars5 StarsJust got this on vinyl. 'I've Got to Find My Baby' bears a resemblance to 'Twist & Shout' in its layered harmonic structure. 'The Meanest Girl in Town' was apparently recorded by Bill Haley & His Comets in 1964, under a different title. There is something infectious about 'Do the Clam'! Love the sly piano groove on 'Cross My Heart and Hope to Die'. All in all, this is a record filled with pleasant, slight ditties. It's an extremely enjoyable pop/rock 'n' roll record and all the tunes are memorable and hummable. I'll be playing this one often!

1 StarSound wise, this is superior to the first FTD Girl Happy release (I haven't got the second FTD Girl Happy release, so can't comment). There is less echo/reverb that was added to the FTD version and overall much better sound.

3 Stars3 Stars3 StarsThis is not one of my favorite Elvis soundtrack but it will fill the spot in my CD collection. I do mine in order they where originaly released and at $5:00 a pop I can afford it

1 StarThis was one of 3 CD's I received yesterday and yes, I still only give it one star. While the re-mastering is quite good aka updated, the actual songs are really pedestrian and definitely written to accommodate the actual movie which was very light weight!

1 StarYes JerryNoadak a supreme stinker; however, knowing the price on this soundtrack will be cheaper than previous issues, I just may buy this new version to re-examine myself as to this CD. I may or may not have mellowed in my old age, but let's see if a dog is a dog.

4 Stars4 Stars4 Stars4 Starsi love the album and the movie both were fun to watch and to listen to. the only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that there are many other 1960 albums of elvis that are like this sadly.

1 StarTerrible album. Terrible songs. Save your hard earned money. This is the ultimate stinker.
